Best matte screen netbook Can you folks tell me which netbooks have the matte screen? I have an Acer Aspire d250 with the shiny screen and it drives me to distraction. Once I get a matte screen netbook I can unload the aspire on my wife (actually, she doesn't mind the reflections). By the way, other than the screen reflections and the fingerprints all over my aspire, I love it. Way, way better than my 14.5 inch Aspire. Thanks so much!

I don't believe that the Asus 1005ha-v has a matte screen. The Asus 1005ha-m DOES have a matter screen.

The HP Mini 110 series is the closest to matte screen you'll ever get. They call it anti glare screen but it looked matte screen to me. The netbook itself is probably the best looking Netbook out there with almost a full keyboard.

The new Samsung n130 and n140 netbooks both have matte screens. Also, the newer Asus 1005HA-MU17 and 1008HA-MU17 have matte screens.

I think the reason for the glossy screens is that they look better at the store...

the samsung nc-20 is glossy unfortunately. i dont know why the glossy screen is the majority of netbooks? how stupid can companies be. these are for TRAVELING!! Not only glare is a problem but privacy as well. i dont need the person next to me on a plane watching everything i do.

The HP netbooks that have matte screens unfortunately have a wide glossy frame around the display, which defeats the purpose -- it's like a reflective mirror around the display and can be equally distracting. I have an Asus netbook with the same problem -- though the frame is not as shiny. The HP was so bad however, I had to return it. I'm glad to see many others share this concern, maybe the manufacturers will start listening??

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy. I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

They are IPS screens - supposed to be amazing. Reference: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/acers-aspire-s7-ultrabooks-coming-october-26th-starting-at-1200/ (or many other sites across the web :)

I have never seen a matte screen version... unfortunately, those might be a thing of the past... The higher resolution monitor will display items at a higher density and smaller physical size. Both IE and Firefox have options for zooming in and out to help with this if it is hard for you to read web sites. Windows also has a DPI option for making items larger. I typically zoom my browser in around 115-120%, but I leave the Windows DPI setting alone.

As far as I know It has Matte Anti-Glare Finish. I bought previous version m7-j010dx which has Glossy Screen. The Difference between j010dx and j020dx (this model) is Anti-Glare Screen.

The one that I purchased was not anti-glare(matte finish,) they were clear gloss just like the screen on the Asus laptop. The glare doesn't bother me at all. Personally I am not a fan of anti-glare, because of how much it cuts down the viewing angles. The only other companies that you might try are the zagg company or bodyguards. I personally recommend bodyguards because they are always coming out with new products when people ask for them. Hope this helps. Good luck. -Steve K.

Not sure I understand the question. The screen looks like any other I have used. The material around the screen is shiny but the screen itself is matte.....

I did my homework and these were the two I came down to as well. Honestly, I think you'll be pleased with either. I haven't had the Asus in hand; I went with the Toshiba, as that's where my heart kept going back to. They're very close, feature/spec-wise. (I trust you're not expecting 720p+ video, because that does not play well on most netbooks.) Asus should have longer battery life, and it has built-in bluetooth. (Bluetooth USB adapter runs $20-25 otherwise.) The Toshiba is downright beautiful, and its texture won't pick up fingerprints. I don't know what the Asus screen is like; the Toshiba screen is excellent. I can vouch for Toshiba's multi-taskability, though I don't doubt Asus' capability at the same. I really think they'll both be loveable; what does your heart say?

My wife's new Macbook (not Pro) has a glossy screen (no choice) and she really hates it. She wishes she could get it with the matte screen (like her old iBook or my Powerbook). The reflections are annoying, and it shows every little fingerprint or smudge...it's also difficult to clean.Go with the matte, it's a better option.-Zach

Since its touchscreen, it is glossy. I don't know of any laptop with a matte finish that is touchscreen. I don't think that's even possible with current technology.

Did you buy the ASUS netbook yet? I've narrowed it down to this model, and would like to get something other than the popular "Black" color. I think I'm leaning towards the "Blue" color. I asked someone that bought the blue ASUS and they said it's darker blue than the picture and has purple highlights. I think that's a color I would like. Whatever color you choose really comes down to your own personal preference. Good Luck in choosing if you haven't already!!

Personally I vastly prefer the "matte" (ie regular) screen. Really bright and nice looking, with no glare...although as so-called "glossy" screens go Apple's are good.

The screen is matte and not glossy at all. I have bright lights directly above my screen and sit about 2 feet away from it, and there's no glare on the screen. The frame is glossy, though; the only place I notice it is at the bottom, where it's a little more than 1" wide. The frame on the top and sides is very thin and the gloss isn't noticable there. Hope this helps!

I think he meant Matte screen or glossy. I went to Fry's just to look if matte finish will bother me since I am very sensitive, cause headache with blurry text caused by thin film coating on the screen. I found out the text is blurry, so I cancel my order to amazon today.

The N110 I guess is the new generation overlapping the NC10 SE...I cant believe Samsung did this so soon, it hasnt been a month since they NCSE 10 has started shipping to people. That graphic card memory difference could have been nice for the same price. I still have no idea if the matte screen is better or the glossy screen that is claimed to be on the N110

It all depends on what your needs are. I plan on doing coding, scripting, and photo editing on this machine, so a matte finish helps more than a glossy one b/c of less glare in staring at the screen and beter color accuracy. The glossy finish is really something that you should get if one is not affected by glare as much and if movie viewing is gonna be a major activity on the laptop.
